Fantastiska målningar. Måste ses.

Eine schöne Kirche mitten im Herzen von Fiskebäckskil. Die Kirche überragt alles und lädt zum Verweilen ein. Man kann sich das sehr aufwendig gestaltete Kirchenschiff mit Bemalungen vergleichbar eines Schiffsrumpfes anschauen. Es liegt ein sehr altes Buch zum Anschauen aus. Auf dem Friedhof sind etliche Seemänner des Ortes mit ihren Familien in großen Gruften begraben. Sehr zu empfehlen.

What an incredibly beautiful church! Wooden panelled interior with gorgeous, nautical paintings on every surface. The church sits on a hill overlooking the marina.

Château du Lude

The Château du Lude is one of the many great châteaux of the Loire Valley in France. Le Lude is the most northerly château of the Loire Valley and one of the last important historic castles in France, still inhabited by the same family for the last 260 years. The château is testimony to four centuries of French architecture, as a stronghold transformed into an elegant house during the Renaissance and the 18th century. The monument is located in the valley of Le Loir. Its gardens have evolved throughout the centuries.
